How can we spend £40 million on strikers (in the Championship!) and be starting a kid upfront on his own who has never scored a goal for us. If this thread is to remain open then we need a very quick change in management. 1 win in 8 league games is surely enough to warrant that change? There's no sign of improvement under Bruce. We can't continue to do the same things and expect different results. A change is a most. We can't afford to waste time here. As each game.goes by under Bruce the chances of promotion reduces. Now or never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 £15m striker left on the bench, when he does come on, he looks as though his legs are made out of cement, just shite all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Even after a poor start we are just five points outside playoffs, seven points from top. Hopefully come the end of this month we'll be top 6 and have some real momentum and confidence. I am still confident we can be successful this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 7 points at this stage is still a huge amount. Need to start winning games back to back to have a chance. The manner of today's win is promising in my view and it was on sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 When we can win 3 or 4 games in a row I'll believe a promotion charge is more than wishful thinking. But we had a similar result against Norwich then back to mediocrity. One game isn't going to make a great difference - getting slightly bored of hearing "is this the result that will kick start our season..." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we can win the odd game like today. Can we do it 3/4 times in a row? If we play 442 I think we will have more chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2017 Win next game and there is a good chance we could be 4 points off second place. We have to go for it and now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep most definitely and good to get a host of goals. Goals scored could be vital. Really hapoy in the manner of the win.

KJT123 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Our next three fixtures: Forest (H) Burton (A) Bolton (H) We really should be winning all three - and if we do, things will start to look a lot better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2017 Absolutely, and if we do it will show What a missed opportunity home draws against Brentford and 10 man Middlesbrough will have been. I shouldn't worry though. After winning yesterday he will probably go five at the back against Forest with Adomah playing as lone striker up front.

We have had good runs last season, and with an inferior side. Cant see a reason why we wont do better this year! The best part of yesterdays result was that it was away from home, our Achilles heal. Getting that monkey off our back quickly will prove important IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the play-off's are a lottery and that automatic promotion should always be our aim but promotion via the play-off's would do for me . Having said that, not going up whether we made those play-off's or not would represent a failure for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I have to laugh at how some people think all of a sudden the 12 teams above us just stop playing or ALL just decide to lose or drop points at the same time as we simultaneously go on winning streaks. "Only 7 points" is not that straightforward. Does anyone remember when we went on that 6 or 7 game winning run last season and barely moved?
